Want to write a holiday letter that your friends and family will love to read?  Well, don't drown your paragraphs in details.  Sprinkle in your news, like seasoning to flavor a stew.  I've used this technique with success for thirty years.

This month, I'm podcasting a three-part series about writing holiday letters,  available for free on iTunes or  by visiting my bedroom closet at http://laurelannehill.libsyn.com.  I've now posted part one, approximately 13-1/2 minutes long.  And yes, I really do set up my "recording studio" in my bedroom closet.

By the way, if you have book lovers ages 9 to 90 on your Christmas list, please consider my award-winning novel, "Heroes Arise," now available in hard cover, trade paperback and as a Kindle e-book.  For more information about "Heroes Arise," visit my website at http://www.laurelannehill.com.

Warm wishes,

Laurel Anne Hill (Author and Former Underground Storage Tank Operator)
